ARC Vascular
The Design Challenge -
Treating multi-directional arterial blockages traditionally required making multiple, separate punctures in a patient's artery. This forced physicians into a redundant, dual-incision workflow that increased complication risks, prolonged patient recovery times, and drove up hospital costs.
The Design Solution -
The Antegrade Retrograde Converter (ARC) condenses this workflow into a single puncture by leveraging a custom Nitinol wire that loops 180 degrees inside the vessel. This innovation is housed in a simple clamshell handle designed to support multi-grip positions as physicians change directions mid-procedure. The tactile gray overmold reinforces grip and brand identity, the 30° angled red port ensures friction-free lumen entry, and a dedicated blue port provides seamless syringe access—elevating both simplicity and the end-user experience.
